    Confronting direct reports about performance issues can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time managers, who may worry that sharing critical feedback could damage their relationship with the employee. But performance conversations, especially where you need to give critical feedback, don’t have to be scary. There are a few common mistakes to avoid when giving critical feedback. One of the biggest mistakes is avoiding the conversation or waiting too long to have it. Many new managers also fail to properly prepare before their performance discussions. If there are tasks, projects, or skills at which your employee is falling short, you should also be able to give them a clear explanation of why or where they haven’t met your expectations. Some also end up making the issue about the person instead of focusing on the work itself. Being a great people manager is not about being a friend or being liked by everyone all the time — it’s about being a manager who cares about their employees

    Gen AI has already begun transforming work by speeding up and even automating tasks, but looking further up the org chart, how will it change the work of middle managers? A new Harvard Business School study finds that using gen AI can flatten the corporate hierarchy and streamline productivity by freeing managers from some tasks of project coordination—but first companies must determine what to automate, and who will benefit the most.

The author, who wrote a book on mental health and work last year, explores several key ways organizations haven’t gone far enough in implementing a culture of well-being. She also makes five key suggestions on what they can do to improve the mental health of their employees.

    In the five years since the start of the Covid pandemic, the conversation about remote work versus return-to-office has centered largely on employees. But organizations also benefit when leaders are remote—when they live and work primarily in a different place than their teams—because they are able to hire from a broader pool of candidates and bring in stars who would be unlikely to move to the company’s headquarters. While there are still concerns around overseeing employees, building team culture, and maintaining visibility, there are ways to overcome them, including: conscious planning and use of time and travel; monitoring performance through technology and structure; and listening and creating connections.

    AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by providing personalized treatment plans, streamlining clinical trials, and aiding in the development of novel therapeutics. However, AI alone cannot fix the flaws in the U.S. healthcare system; it will require serious structural reforms. There are three priorities: accelerate the shift from fee-for-service to value-based care, and integrate AI in the next generation of value-based care strategies; embed AI into medical education and training; and engage doctors and patients in AI development and use.

    While most complaints about meetings have merit, they can be difficult to tackle if they are vague. However, there are specific grievances that anyone can take steps to address. Here are five of the most common: (1) One or two people dominate the conversation and no one does anything about it. (2) My boss doesn’t lead meetings effectively. (3) Most of our meetings are just passing along information that could easily be sent in an email. (4) No one is paying attention because they’re on their phones or laptops. (5) We keep having the same conversations because nothing gets done between meetings. You don’t have to be the meeting leader to take action. For example, if you’re tired of attending a meeting that is just a series of updates, you can offer to canvas the team each week and develop a list of topics for the meeting agenda that will require real-time problem solving. Or, if people are distracted by their phones, propose a “no devices” rule.

    In 2015, Laszlo Bock wrote Work Rules!, which laid out a set of guidelines for how to combine data analysis, academic rigor, and human resources best practices to create a world-class company culture, based on his time at Google. Six years later, he’s seen firsthand how experienced leadership teams are struggling to navigate the shift to hybrid work and maintain a culture of excellence. So he’s revisited what he originally wrote to identify the five new rules of hybrid work. This article shows how leaders can apply them to build great teams, even when those teams aren’t together in-person all the time.
